Subject: Amazing

Even though it's a compilation album, it's so well executed and fascinating. From beginning to end.

Reviewer: mediaferret - - July 4, 2019
Subject: Brilliant

This is a stellar, highly influential collection of American folk music assembled by Harry Smith, denizen of New York's storied Chelsea Hotel. Smith was a fascinating character whose interests extended from musicology, painting, filmmaking, linguistics, and magick.
